Kurzweil K2000


The K2000 uses V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) which allows you to take any multi-sample, noise or waveform and process it using just about any synthesis technique. The source of these multi-samples are from the 8MB of ROM which hold tons of authentic and superb quality samples. The internal processing is 32-bit with 18-bit DACs. The K2000 uses 31 sound-shaping algorithms to provide a variety of resonant filters, EQs, continuous panning, amplitude modulation, crossfade, distortion, digital wrap, waveshaper, pulse width modulation, high frequency enhancement, low frequency oscillators, hard sync oscillators and mixing oscillators, all with real-time MIDI control.

It's a beautiful synth with an elegant and organized layout and very high quality pitch and mod wheels! Not to mention a 61-note velocity & aftertouch sensitive keyboard with a quality feel and response to playing. The K2000s adds a quality sampler with standard 2MB RAM that can be expanded to 64MB. Sample in stereo or mono, via analog or digital inputs and you have all the sample edit functions you'll need to create some of your own sounds. Use the built-in 3.5" disk drive or connect an external drive to the SCSI port for limitless sample storage (an internal SCSI connection also allows for a hard disk drive inside).

Other professional features include stereo multi-effects capable of four simultaneous effects including reverb, chorus, delay, multi-tap delay, flange, rotary simulation and more. Up to six polyphonic audio outputs. There's also the 32-Track sequencer, fully editable, with features like 768 ppq resolution and nondestructive track editing and groove quantizing.

The K2000rs is the rack-mount version of the K2000s. Offering all of the same great sounds, power and features as the keyboard version. The K2000's keyboard is excellent and feels great to play, but if you don't need the extra keys the 3-space rack-module is an excellent instrument. The K2000's have been used by Robert Miles, Pink Floyd, Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode, Hardfloor, Tori Amos, Stevie Wonder, Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Bon Harris (Nitzer Ebb), Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, LTJ Bukem, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Laurent Garnier, and Luther Vandross.

Upgrades include the Orchestral Expansion Board (8 Mb) and Contemporary Expansion Board (8 Mb). A full 16-bit sampler with analog/digital sampling options (SMP-K) and AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital I/O ports. The 2MB sampler RAM is expandable to 64 MB for upwards of 19 minutes of sampling time. Sequencer's capacity is expandable from 30,000 events to 190,000. The operating systems can easily be upgraded too.

Největším podporovatelem a tvůrcem zvuků byl SWEATWATER:
Tady je nějaké retro, dema SWEATWATER dřívějších sérií K2XXX, nikde už nejsou, tak je dávám sem takto. Ono je ještě důležité si uvědomit, že současná kolekce pro PC3 vznikla tak že prostě jen vyřadili část zvuků, které se nyní dají stáhnout zdarma a zbytek prodávají dál bez velkých úprav....: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/20/succ ... fQWja4Dx4U

'Mr. Surack' was my dad.
Surack credits much of his success to a synthesizer he came across in the 1980s.
In 1984, he saw a new instrument called the Kurzweil K250 at a trade show. "It was the first synthesizer that played back digital recordings of musical instruments," he said. "It cost $20,000, but it was a game changer," he said. Surack bought one and eventually became a dealer for the product.By the early 1990s, Sweetwater Sound had evolved from a recording studio to a dealer of high-end musical instruments and audio equipment.
"Musicians, bands, just regular people from all over the country would hear about us through the grapevine and buy from us," he said.
He started his first business at 20. Now he runs a $300 million water park empire
The company set up a website in 1994. "This was very early in the Internet world, so we used it primarily to educate people about our instruments. We were dealers for 100 brands by then," he said.
About 60% of sales now come from the company's web site, while the rest come through direct orders from the company's sales people. A fraction of sales -- $13 million a year -- comes from the Sweetwater Sound's retail store located on the company's 400,000-square-foot campus in Fort Wayne.
Sweetwater Sound employs some 500 salespeople, all of whom are either musicians or have technical experience in creating music such as in audio engineering. Also on the campus are recording studios and a 250-seat theater and, for employees, a cafeteria with subsidized food, a salon and spa and a clinic offering free medical care.
There's also a steel slide on the second floor. "Music is a fun business. I want to bring the fun to work," he said.
For Surack, who's now 62, taking care of his employees goes well beyond just signing their paychecks.

"I want to be Chuck to everyone. 'Mr. Surack' was my dad," he said. "I treat everyone with respect and I want to empower our employees ."
Over 40 years, Sweetwater Sound has grown to employ 1,700 workers, not including Surack's other businesses.

Zde je seznam CD mě známých (seznam mi byl poskytnut z USA ) , které se dají zjískat dnes již na E-bayi, ale mnohé z nich jsou 16 bit/44KHz a jedou i na K2000 pokud má sampler!

ANALOG MELTDOWN ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom: Classic Synths Get Radioactive! Here's a new twist on your average synth library. Designed, engineered, blown up and re-animated by mad programmer Kevin Wakefield, Analog Meltdown has the brains of one synth and the body of another. Wakefield adds an array of mod wheels, faders, breath controllers and pedals to each program, making this one of the most playable synth libraries you'll ever get your hands on. The sounds are wild and freakish, clamorous and whimsical. They have a unique personality, unpretentious and in-your-face. No innocuous pads awash in reverb, no blatant attempts to soundlike a string orchestra or brass section, Analog Meltdown is truly the "Edward Scissorhands" of sample libraries, unusual perhaps, but it slices through your mixes with razor sharp precision and confidence. To categorize all the sounds would be a challenge, but there is a wide assortment of textures including stunning leads, power pads, FM (no really, it's FM!), plucky sounds, sweeps, bubbly effects, stellar grand prix, electro-shock treatments, sci-fi weapons and transporters, stingers and resonators, and as you might expect, much, much more. These are all active sounds, designed to be featured and loud, having been blessed with cut-through clarity and depth. We urge caution however, when handling the contents of this disc. Be prepared to alter the course of your creativity due to the unpredictable effect of these sounds on your psyche. Analog Meltdown is a real adventure in electro-magnetic experimentation!

(EQ Review) 'Due to Clearmountain's immaculate recording techniques and clear understanding of sampling musicians needs, Drums II is the top of the heap.' (KEYBOARD Review)

BURNING GROOVES vol.1 ~ GROOVES ~ <Spectrasonics> Cd-Rom
BURNING GROOVES vol.2 ~ KITS & DRUMS ~ <Spectrasonics> Cd-Rom

BURNING GROOVES Info Audio / Demo track info diskA drum library that delivers maximum impact. Killer Kits and blazing live drum grooves laid down by L.A. slammer Abe Laboriel Jr. (k.d.lang, Seal, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Joe Sample, Scritti Politti) with extreme re-mixes by producer Eric Persing. The diverse selection of unrelenting alternative, power funk, progressive soul, rock & roll and grungehead loops in a wide variety of tempos (56-215 BPM) puts this collection in a class by itself. Each groove has a unique mix (edge, hi-fi, ambient, distorted, lo-fi, etc), and some have both HI-FI and LO-FI re-mixes. It is one of the only libraries to include different time signatures (3/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 12/8), & those hard to find Tom-Tom and Sidestick grooves. All the loops have been "pre-tweaked" for synchronization at the listed tempo, saving you alot of time. Burning Grooves is the first library to offer versions of the grooves played without kick drum and without snare drum for unprecedented flexibility in customizing the loops to your music. This new technique allows you to create your own kick or snare patterns within the loop, breakdowns and also makes it much easier to layer Burning Grooves with other loops. Separate fills and intro loops are available to help smooth transistions, and create the "live vibe". The fills and grooves don't haveany Cymbal Crashes limiting their usefulness -you can add your own when you need them. The CD-ROM version includes "Smokin' Kits" - an entire drum hits library! These are some of the punchiest and most expressive kits ever assembled, since they were sampled within a musical context. Unlike other groove libraries that have a small single hits section tacked on to the end ofthe library, the Burning Grooves CD-ROM version has a complete library of multi-dynamic, multiple hit kits with fx (flams, buzz rolls, etc.), and lots of mix variations and processing fx (Dry, Room, Ambient, LO-FI, etc.). Even if you never use the loops, the Burning Grooves CD-ROM is worth getting for the kits alone! The CD-ROM version is a tremendous value, since it includes the Audio CD for free! Some of our customers prefer the Audio to CD-ROM versions of groove libraries because it's easier to audition the grooves from the Audio CD. Since we've included it in the CD-ROM package, you get the best of both worlds, at no extra cost! If you're looking for attitude, search no further. Where there's smoke, there's fire!

CONCERT GRAND PIANOS ~ <Sonic Reality> Cd-Rom: Brilliant Black and Whites!
If you were to tour the world's top recording studios, you'd probably notice more and more Yamaha Concert Grands showing up in the corners of these exquisite rooms. Unlike a lot of European and American concert grands, Yamaha pianos have become the choice of many studios and musicians because of their clarity and low-to-high consistency when going to tape. They also record with a distinctively broad stereo image that blends and projects very well, even in dense mixes. Sonic Reality has successfully captured these instruments in this very well conceived and executed collection. Featured are a Yamaha C7 recorded in-studio and a CFIIIs nine foot grand recorded on a well-known scoring stage. We've even included pedal down notes with resonating harp. These pianos respond beautifully to 88 note weighted controllers. Each dynamic is provided in stereo or mono and can be loaded together or individually for maximum flexibility with your set up. You get a slew of programming options for loud or soft music and a useful variety of memory sizes ranging from 10 to 128 megs. Concert Grand Pianos also boasts the best sustain loops of any piano CD-ROM, with enormous, long sustains that rival the real thing. If you think you already have the best piano CD-ROM, think again. These pianos play beautifully and will add richness and depth to your tracks.

DENNY JEAGAR PRIVATE COLLECTION MASTER VIOLINS ~ Cd-Rom: Nothing but violin sections, painstakingly recorded at semitone intervals, compiled and seamlessly looped by an apparent obsessive (I mean that as a compliment, but if you meet Denny Jaeger at a party, don't get him started on violins). By layering short-attack samples with matching sustains, very realistic performances of anything from soft legato chords to fierce staccato melodies can be programmed. It's also worth pointing out that a violin's bottom note is G below middle C, so you will have to look elsewhere for real low-end strings. However, some artfully detuned violin section samples are provided in a valiant attempt to fill the gap. Standouts: Purely a question of musical aptitude, as thequality is excellent throughout. For a classic legato string sound!

History of Korg is available a Kurzweil CD-ROM (History of Analog). Check out what the review team at Electronic Musician has to say about Discovery's History of Korg:“You can now play those old Korg mono synths polyphonically! Exciting filter and resonance sweeps. The Trident, Lamda and Sigma all have moments of glory. These Trident string samples offer you analog strings at their zenith. Nifty Poly-800 chord samples and gooey synth tones from both a PolySix and a Poly-61.” History of Roland, by Discovery, brings us all the classic synths originally produced by the company Roland. Like no other electronic music company in history, Roland has always been innovative and on the cutting edge of technology. Even in the days of analog only synths, Roland consistently brought to the market a large number of synths that eventually became classics. Discovery has solved the problem of where to find all of these in working order and how to do so inexpensively. This disc includes the Juno-106, Juno-6, SH-1 / 2, SH-101 / System-100, RS-09, MC-202, MKS-80, Jupiter-6 / 8, VP-300 vocoder and a special section of wonderfully conceived phrases that combine all of these. History of Roland is the Kurzweil CD-ROM (History of Analog). Listen to what the review team at Electronic Musician has to say about Discovery's History of Roland: “The JUNO-106 has some wonderful swirling patches and squelchy percussion. Very useful 106 pulse waves and a great collection of 106 phrases. They’re skillfully played and programmed. There’s plenty of raw material here if you’re in break beat mode! The Jupiter-8 is well represented with some sparkling resonate sweeps, hard-edged decay tones almost like steel drums, and also strings and brass. The MKS-80 offers hard sync patches mallets and some neat chord stabs. Not everyone has access to vintage synths. Discovery’s History of Analog offers a peek into the analog past.”

DISCOVERY FIRM ~ TB-303 #DEK-010 <Discovery Firm> Cd-Rom, After Roland ceased production of TB-303, it became a cult classic for producers of dance tracks. Its wicked monophonic bass synth engine combined with a step sequencer and plenty of parameter knobs to tweak made the 303 a techno-lover’s dream machine. Discovery teamed up with TB-303’s original developers to create a disc

In an attempt to follow on the successful footsteps of the popular TR-808, the TR-909 added a more equipped synth engine (especially in the envelope department), a better sequencer, digitally sampled sounds (most notably its cymbals), and improved output electronics. This gave the TR-909 a distinct and full sound without sacrificing what made the 808 groove so well. Discovery has captured that sound, and offers you each individual drum hit with all possible parameter settings in this collection. We also provide those hits processed through our arsenal of outboard effects and studio equipment. Discovery also gives you classic TR-909 drum loops. Over 70 minutes of material are found on its 66 tracks. Your dance tracks will thank you!

As for sound quality, it’s as good as the machines themselves. These are some of the quietest 808/909 recirdings we’ve heard. Discovery obviously used 808s and 909s in great condition. Realism City! Classic oldskool ballad beats and skippy speed funk to 16th-note pop grooves. There are some really fun beats with pirch-bent cymbals. These are very useful!”

Here's what you'll find on the Electron Bomb CD:
Synthetica Volume 1: This is first volume of the Synthetica Seris as programmed by Gary Phillips, the "mad scientist of VAST". The focal point of these programs was to use VAST to explore new sonic textures far outside the standard acoustic emulation of real instruments.
Synthetica Volume 2: Gary's next Synthetica volume targets the Contemporary ROM option. If you have the Cont ROM and don't think it's contemporary enough, you haven't tried this bank yet! DEEPRAVED! This is an outrageous bank of Techno, Rave and Dance programs from the twisted mind of Andrew Schlesinger, who has been hired to program almost every synth and effects company around the world. You'll see why when you get DEEPRAVED! Techno/Ambient: The entire set of Techno/Ambient Programs was created by another of our soundware engineers, Bruce Duncan, who hales from Toronto. Bruce is heavily involved in techno music production and had developed this program set specifically for his own recording needs. But, we knew that you'd want a copy too.
Bonus Banks
As if the above weren't enough, we've thrown together a directory full of our favorite VAST explorations:
• B_Cowell - Brian Cowell, the "Wonder from Down Under," is a tireless Aussie programming machine who cranks 'em out as fast as we can post 'em. Make sure to check out SAVAGE, a college course on how to sync your Kurzweil LFOs to MIDI clock.

with nine real-time drawbars.

ELEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL JAZZ ~ <Big Fish Audio> Cd-Rom
ECLECTIC EXPANDED vol.1 ~ <Bolder Sounds> Cd-Rom: This disc is different from the original Eclectic in that it has grown to twice its original size! This "first child" of Bolder Sounds has finally received the V.A.S.T. programming which the Kurzweil series deserves as well as 350 MB of pristine samples. New samples range from Uilleann Pipes and Bagpipes to exotic percussion loops and the evocative Duduk. This disc is everything the title implies and more. Detailed Description......................This disc was originally released as an Akai S1000 disc which contained about 320 MB of samples. A floppy Macros disc was programmed to make a smoother translation from Akai to Kurzweil format, however it still did not employ the advantages of Kurzweils V.A.S.T. architecture. The new Eclectic not only employs the advantages of V.A.S.T., but also includes approximately 397 MB of new pristine sound banks. I decided to delete any samples I was not happy with from the original version and then fill the new disc to the brim with samples consistent with the original theme of Eclectic. Many of the new samples tend to be a bit more on the exotic side like....... Bagpipes, Ullian Pipes, Turkish Lute, Hurdy Gurdy etc... While others are rather stock in nature such as a Yamaha C7 piano, a beautiful stereo Louden steel string guitar as well as a LoPrinzi classic guitar (both of which are my personal guitars).

ETHNO TECHNO DATA DISC ~ MAC/PC <Ilio> Cd-Rom + iNFO: A massive new sample collection by Bashiri Johnson, produced by Eric Persing for ILIO. Imagine a groove, not yet invented. Imagine a drum, never heard. Imagine an untamed sonic space. Bashiri Johnson (Whitney Houston, Miles Davis, Madonna, Saturday Night Live, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Peter Wolf), has dreamed up a new kind of groove library, with sounds both familiar and mysterious, dangerous and beautiful. And mostly, a groove experience you've probably never imagined. The sounds are organic, metallic, deep and glassy. Some were created by radically conceived, hand- welded instruments, others from more traditional skins and sticks. All of them were played live, some preserved, some liquefied, to create an immense amalgam of earthy and industrial beats. Bashiri pours his mind and soul directly into his instruments. His accuracy and feel have long been celebrated by musicians the world over. And if you're a fan of Eric Persing, you won't be disappointed by the spacious, round and tasty feel of his mixes and remixes on Ethno Techno. Loops are provided as Mixes, Elements and Remixes, all Groove Control™ activated. Multisample menus too!

GRAND PIANO COLLECTION v3.0 ~ <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom Our Most Popular CD-ROM Turns 3! ~ In 1994, when Sweetwater released its first Grand Piano CD ROM, Kurzweil K2000s shipped with a mere two megs of RAM, and upgrading to 16 megabytes was far too expensive for most musicians. Still, many of the two to 16 meg pianos in the Sweetwater Piano "archives" are surprisingly good, particularly given the restrictions of the time. NOTE: Formatted for Kurzweil Kxxxx keyboards. These Kurzweil CD-ROMs are in a proprietary Kurzweil format that can only be read by a K2000/K2500/K2600 series keyboard using a Kurzweil-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive. These CD-ROMs can NOT be read by a Mac or PC. If you are interested in adding these sounds to your Kurzweil PC3K, we suggest that you try our Sweetwater PC3K Library, which has over 100 instruments selected from all nine of our Kurzweil CD-ROM libraries. The library comes on a 2GB thumb drive that's been formatted so that you can plug it directly into the PC3K and start loading. Since there will be plenty of room left over on the drive, we'll include the latest operating system and objects, as well as the currently available Kurzweil PC3K libraries (including the SynthScapes and Take 6 collections) and the K2661 ROM compatibility files. Today, it's not really that expensive to bump a Kurzweil K-Series instrument up to 64 or even 128 megabytes. Even so, it's great to have the smaller sized pianos so that additional instruments can be loaded for stage or studio work. The 16 meg "Ultimate Grand" - at one time our flagship grand - is still an amazing accomplishment, and it sounds as good today as it did when it was first released. Version 3.0 of the Sweetwater Grand Pianos CD ROM Collection includes all the contents of the original disc, the upgraded programming of our Series Two discs, plus three "mega-sized" grands (64 Megabyte Stereo Bosendorfer Grand, 64 Megabyte Stereo Steinway A3 Grand, and 4 Megabyte Guild Cabinet Grand) that fit into 64MB of RAM, plus a wonderful four meg "Tack Piano."64 Megabyte Stereo Bosendorfer Grand. Our original CD ROM had a 12 megabyte version of this piano, an ebony, 9 1/2 foot Bosendorfer Imperial Grand which resides in the main auditorium of the niversity of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). The piano has an interesting history. In 1993, Alesis was seeking the "ultimate grand" to use in their brand new QuadraSynth. After several unsuccessful attempts at various Los Angeles studios, the company turned to InVision Interactive and the company contracted with Stratus Sounds to record several grand pianos in the San Francisco Bay area. Their hands-down favorite was this wonderful instrument, which was discovered by Tish Eastman (who since went on to work for Walt Disney Imagineering).Three sessions were booked, all after midnight to assure as little extraneous noise as possible. The result of the first two sessions appeared as the flagship QuadraSynth stereo grand (and in many Alesis products that followed). The third session, booked by Stratus Sounds for the original Sweetwater Grand Piano CD ROM, resulted in the material on this disc. The 12 meg version was used exclusively by Constance Demby on her critically acclaimed album "Aeterna." But the piano has finally appeared in its full glory here in a 64 megabyte version. It was close-miked using a matched pair of AKG 414 microphones. 64 Megabyte Stereo Steinway A3 Grand This particular piano, which was originally built by Steinway and Sons in 1911, now resides in the main recital hall at Florida State University. In the early 1990s, this piano was completely rebuilt by the Steinway company to the exact specifications of the original. Using only materials that were available in the early 1900s, this piano has a warm organic tone that is almost universally associated with Steinway pianos. As such, even when played very hard, the instrument still maintains its warmth and never produces an overly bright sound, making it ideal for the accompaniment of other acoustic instruments or in classical or jazz applications. This particular piano was recorded using Earthworks omnidirectional TC40Ks placed approximately three feet from the piano, so there is a bit more room sound (or "air") than in many sampled pianos.54 Megabyte Seiler Grand Piano Seiler is a small European manufacturer of quality stringed instruments. It is not often seen here in the U.S. This particular instrument, a nine-foot rand built with a stunning rosewood body, has a very open, well-articulated sound, quite unlike many other "name brand" pianos. The piano was custom ordered in 1994 by a customer in Sacramento, California, who was kind enough to allow Stratus Sounds to record the instrument while it was still in the dealer's showroom being tuned after its long trip overseas. The master DAT tapes have been in the Stratus vaults until now. A pair of AKG 414s were positioned approximately two feet from the sounding board, while a stereo Crown SASS-P MkII (a near-coincident array using PZM technology) was set out in the showroom approximately six feet from the piano in a "listener's position." Of our three "big" pianos, this one cuts through a mix the best.4 Megabyte Guild Cabinet Grand This interesting instrument resides in the music department at San Jose State University. The Guild Cabinet Grand - essentially a small grand piano turned upright - was built in 1923. By itself, the sound is rather unimpressive, so at some point in its history, someone took the initiative to add real brass tacks to all the hammers, effectively turning this into the world's largest tack piano. By doubling the octaves through pitch shifting, we also achieved a terrific "player piano" tone. Note that the lowest notes capture the unique string buzz and rattle of the original. You will have some fun with this one! A pair of AKG 414s were used to record this piano, though it was summed to mono for this disk. A full 64 megabyte stereo version is included in the Sweetwater "Historical Keyboards" CD ROM. Even though the samples here are monophonic, there is still a lot of room sound, thanks to the acoustic properties of the recording environment & the mic placement.

GRANULAR ~ <Bolder Sounds> Cd-Rom: The Granular CD centers around a software-exclusive processing technique called "Granular Synthesis."

HANS ZIMMER GUITARS vol.1 ~ <Spectrasonics> Cd-Rom: Hans Zimmer Guitars vol.1 For the first time, Oscar & Grammy award winning film composer Hans Zimmer releases sounds from his private sample library created by Bob Daspit. These powerful guitar textures are more detailed & expressive than any other Guitar library, with patches containing up to 12-way velocity switching, allowing for such nuances as dynamically-controllable string slides, pops & harmonics. The versatility of this collection is unmatched, ranging from a wide variety of pristine acoustics, vintage Telecasters, 32 meg leads, to a rare $11,000 Paul Reed Smith™ collectors edition "dragon" guitar! This outstanding library also includes Guitar grooves presented in every key signature and multiple tempos. The current version of Zimmer Guitars vol.1 adds three additional new acoustic guitars-sampled without vibrato, in multiple dynamics: a beautiful new Nylon string, 6 string Folk Steel string & the unique Parker "Fly" Electro-Acoustic guitar.Also featured are major & minor acoustic guitar strum samples. These articulations are available in steel and nylon string versions, with both up and down strokes! Hans Zimmer's relentless pursuit of the ultimate samples for his private library has fueled his rich sonic approach on his scores for: Gladiator, Mission Impossible 2, The Lion King, The Rock, Crimson Tide, Broken Arrow, Rain Man, Driving Miss Daisy, Cool unnings, Black Rain, True Romance, Thelma & Louise, A League of their Own & many others.

HANS ZIMMER GUITARS vol.2 ~ <Spectrasonics> Cd-Rom: Hans Zimmer Guitars vol.2, The world's best-selling guitar multi-sample library has evolved into a brand new volume of expressive instruments created for Hans Zimmer by veteran sound designer Bob Daspit. Many of the new instruments feature velocity switching up and down slides, in addition to a new method for controlling vibrato with dynamics. With the authenticity and character of each instrument beautifully captured, these guitar patches are a real pleasure to play and more realistic than ever. Among the distinctive sounds in this collection: Great new Pop sounds including a rich, moody Jazz Guitar whose elegant sound stands alone even for solo compositions - a spirited 1909 Gibson A2. Mandolin, perfect for country & folk tunes - a 1947 Lap Steel Slide guitar for that Ry Cooder vibe, the Coral Electric Sitar, originating in the psychedelic sixties, and revived by Pat Metheny - the deep twang of the Electric Baritone - and Finally, a brand new Steel String Acoustic guitar that will easily become the most indispensable sound in your collection. Its clarity, tone and balance are ideal for both fingerstyle compositions and soloing, but this guitar will most likely find its way onto all of your tracks. A new classic. Among the most exotic instruments from South America are the Cuatro, a hollowed- out single piece of wood with 4 sets of strings that create shimmering tones with great sustain - the Charango, a unique instrument made from the body of an armadillo with round, sparkling tones - the Cavaquińho, a high pitched guitar whose characteristic tones possess great depth - and a bold Flamenco Nylon guitar whose tones, tremolo and rasgando will ignite passionate compositions. Perhaps most rare in this collection are the string sounds of the Middle East (created for The Prince of Egypt score), including the Oud, a fretless 11-string guitar with full-bodied round tones - the Saz, a spicy six- string instrument perfect for traditional middle eastern arrangements - the Cumbus, like a 12-string with an Arabic accent - and the unusual Yayli Tambur, a long necked instrument capable of haunting drones and plucky melodies. Through precise, quiet recordings and innovative keyboard layouts, producer Bob Daspit has managed to capture all of the beauty, resonance, simplicity and character of these fine instruments. The recordings on this new volume bring sampling into a whole new artistic level for composers and songwriters of the next millennia.

PIPE ORGANS::: While it is true that many of the finest pipe organs reside within churches around the world, they also have a strong presence in modern concert halls, including such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Davies Hall in San Francisco and Boston's Symphony Hall. Still, for nearly a millennium the pipe organ has been associated with both European culture and the church, though its unlikely inventor is widely acknowledged as a man named Ktesibios, an engineer in ancient Alexandria back in about 246 BC! Regradless of its history ~ which could easily fill a book ~ the pipe organ is an instrument like no other in the world. The largest instruments may consist of many hundreds of pipes and over100 stops on three manuels (keyboards) plus pedals. The wind power required to drive such an instrument is enormous. The monsterous Winchester Cathedral organ built in the year 950 required two people to play it and no less than 70 strong men to work the 26 bellows. Modern organs, of course, use electricity to power the blowers that allow notes to sound through pipes which may be up to a massive 32 feet in length. In fact, it is the organ which has given us the reference points for modern analog synthesizers like the MiniMoog which had oscillators tuned at 16' 8' 4' and 2' respectively, essentially duplicating the pitch of an organ with pipes of those lengths. This terminology is still used to this day, even in digital instruments. As for the notion that the pipe organ can only play "church music," let me suggest that you get your hands on a great recording of Saint-Saens' Symphony Number 3, which is best known as the "Organ" Symphony. On a great sound system, the final movement will shake your walls and clear out your sinuses, while convincing you for all time that this is no instrument that can be relegated to only one style of music. Even contemporary composers like James Horner and Alan Silvestri have called upon the pipe organ in their scores for motion pictures like "Cocoon" and "Back To The Future." Imagine Richard Strauss'"Also Sprach Zarathustra" (better known as the theme music from "2001") without its ominous opening low-C pedal tone and the massive finale which relies so heavily for its effectiveness on the organ, Like any acoustic instrument, pipe organs each have a different tonal character which is a combination of the skills of the organ builder, the materials used and the actual acoustic resonance of the room the organ sits in. For this collection, we have sampled three very differnt instruments. The largest is a beautiful pipe organ owned by Jacques Littlefield which is actully built into the side of a mountain overlooking San Francisco Bay (talk about atmosphere!) This incredible instrument is capable of producing 32' pedal tones that are the sonic equivalent of a small erathquake-you don't even hear the tones, you feel them; most speakers (even premium subwoofers) will not reproduce such low frequencies. For that reason, we limited the use of 32' pedal tones. IMPORTANT NOTE:::We recommend only using pro quality subwoofers with these samples. Many consumer brands from outlets like Circuit City/Best Buy, will not handle the low frequencies, which in some cases will drop into the range of 16-28Hz. Most speakers cannot possibly handle this, and insome cases, you will hear a fluttering sound from your monitors, which is your driver trying gamely to output the low frequency information. Severe damage may result from playing some of the pipe organ soundswith underpowered amplifiers,speaker systems or subwoofers. We reccomend you audition all pipe organ programs at low listening volume, and slowly raising the volume. If the speaker(s) show any sigh of distress, immedaitely stop playing. We cannot overstate this strongly enough! The smallest of the three organs here the Faith Presbyterian Organ in Tallahassee, Florida. While our middle-sized organ resides in the Queen of Peace Catholic Church ib Ocala, Florida- and even this instrument has 37 ranks (groups of pipes) with a total of over 600 pipes on the Grand organ (top manual) alone! Speaking of manuals, almost all the larger pipe organs have three manuals - or what we call keyboards - while smaller instruments (like Faith Presbyterian) have two. Often these manuals are referred to by the groups of stops they access, such as Great, Swell, Choir and Antiphonal. Each organ also has a separate set of stops accessible via the edalboard. In some cases, stops may be "coupled" so that they are available on more than one manual. For Historial Keyboards, we sampled the best series of stops from each instrument.Our initial intent was to create a "virtual organ"which allow musicians to create their own custom sounds and combination od stops, owever this turned out to be an impractical approach for several reasons. First, many of the stops on each organ are fairly quiet when heard individually and because each recording environment was very live (that is, very reverberant with many reflective surfaces that tend to amplify any and all ambient) the inherent "noise floor" was simply too high to produce a clean recording. Second, it is the physical interaction of the pipes that produces the distinctive sounds of each instrument, meaning that elecronically mixing individual stops would never result in the sonic texture created when sets of stops are played together. Finally, mixing four stops in stereo on a K2000 with 24-note polyphony would allow only three notes to be played at one time, with a massive "Grand Organ" sound, which may be 12 stops, only one note could be played. This was obviously unacceptable. By mixing the smaller, "inner voices" of each instrument with a file that may include up to six or more stops, it is possible to get an almost infinite variety of sounds. Be aware however, as you listen to each file, that there is a phenomena that takes place in all organs called "foldback." What this means is that certain stops may be comprised of less than 61 notes (an example is the 8' Gemshorn Celeste stp on the Queen of Peace Organ, which has only 49 pipes). So at some point a series of notes must be repeated, usually at the top or bottom octave, but sometimes spitting at unusual places depending upon the number of pipes in a stop (perhaps as few as 37). so, as you are playing up and down the keyboard, you may notice that certain frequencies may drop out. Usually this results in a brighter note (say at B3) than the next note (which could be C4) because a certain stop has now folded back and is producing a pitch that is an octave lower. This is a characteristic of all pipe organs (and even Hammond B-3's as well!) and part of the reason that each set of sounds is unique. I also want to mention here that since all pipe organs depend on electro-mechanical systems to produce sound. there is an inherent amount of noise associated with the physical production of sound. As wind is pushed through a set of pipes, there can be low frequency rumbles or high frequency sounds similar to white noise. he best organs are designed to minimize this, but it is present in every instrument ever built. If you detect noise in some of the samples, it is strickly a characteristic of the organ itself, or the particular pipes being used and is just part of the tone rather than a defect, much as the scrape of rosin on a bow is part of the sound of a violin. Finally, I'd like to address the issue of playing fast passages on these sampled organs. First, I made the decision to build the programs using the samples exactly as they were recorded. This means that on some combinations of two or more stops, the attack is fairly slow, as it takes several milliseconds for all the air to move through all the pipes until the full volume is achieved. Organ masters know that when playing fast passages (which in the organ "catalog" are very few) they must actually "play ahead" with the right hand - that is, pressing individual notes a bit sooner, giving adequate time for the air to bring the note to full volume. It takes some practice, but rather than truncate the start of each note, I have included the "attack" exactly as it sounded on the specific instrument. In general, the lower the pitch (16' stops for example) the slower the attack. Higher- pitched pipes will generally have faster attacks. Obviously, there is much more information that I could on to you regarding pipe organs, but I suggest that you jump in and audition some of the files on this disc to get a feel for the variety of sounds each instrument delivers. I think you will like what you hear.
ORGAN PROGRAMMING TIPS:::: While a few sample sets include several combinations of stops, you can build your own "virtual pipe organ" by loading in as many samples as your K-Series keyboard or module will allow. By assigning diferent sample sets to different MIDI channels you can create your own unique presets. For instance, Channel 1 wuld be a basic single or double stop sound, while Channel 2 would be a 3 or 4 stop preset, Channel 3 a 5 or 6 stop preset and so on. Typically, we have used the data slider or mod wheel to bring in additional "pipe ranks" on certain rograms, so check these two controllers as you audition each sample set. NOTE:::: in some instances, we have articially created a fully playable 61-note keyboard based on an organs pedal tones. The reason being that these combinations were not available using the manuals (keyboards) but were deemed to be musically useful.
HARPSICHORDS:::: Historically speaking, the harpsichord, which was first developed in the 14th century, is the ancestor of the modern grand piano, though even older instruments like the Clavichord began musicians on the long quest for a dynamically expressive keyboard instrument. On a harpsichord, sound is produced when a key is stuck, causing a quill to pluck a string or sets of strings. Because of the mechanices of the keyboard action (too involved to go into here), the harpsichord has a very limited dynamic range, meaning that no matter how hard you strike a note, you pretty much get the same volume. To add volume, designers added more strings which could be engaged by levers (also know as stops). Thus an instrument with a single set of strings tuned to an 8' pitch would be louder when a second set of 8' strings were engaged or for even more volume, a set of strings pitched at 4' could be added. A few builders took this to extremes by either adding a lower octave (16') or higher octave (2') of single, double, or even triple strings. Needless to say, such instruments are quite difficult to tune, making them next to impossible to sample. In the beginning, harpsichords were typically designed to have about 40 notes, though newer instruments tend to have more (61 in most cases). Modern harpsichords (those built within the last forty years or so) are built around designs that evolved in different parts of Europe. So a specific instrument may be said to be of Flemish, German or Italian design, the three major families (though some may add French and English to that list). For our collection, we have included two beautiful instruments. The was built in the 1970's by John Germer to duplicate as closely as possible the instruments used by Scarlatti in the 18th Century, and is therefore considered to be the Italian design. This instrument was sampled with a double set of a 8 foot strings, then with a set of 4 foot strings added. You'll note that when you release a key, you can hear the quill dropping back into place, which is part of the distinct sound of the harpsichord. This is a very bright harpsichord, with tons of overtones. It was close-miked with a Crown SASS-P stereo mic, so the stereo effect is very pronounced as you play up the keyboard (bass notes appear on the left, treble on the right). Our second instrument was built in 1977 by William Dowd and resides at Florida State University. It is of Flemish design and is somewhat quieter and with a warmer, "wooder" tone. It has two keyboards (or manuals), the uppermost with a set of 8 foot strings, while the lower manual has 8 foot strings, plus a set of 4 foot strings. It was ampled with the 8'+8'+ 4' lower manual, as well as the slightly brighter upper manual with two sets of 8' strings. This particular sample file really captures the solid knock as the key is depressed and has a very pleasing set of overtones. Mics used were a matched set of Earthworks TC40K omnidirectionals.
FORTEPIANO:::: This instrument is of great historical significance since it is the intermediate step between harpsichord and the modern grand piano as we know it. In this instrument, the quills have been replaced by hammers, a design credited to Bartolomeo Christofon (1665-1731), though the approach to have been tried as early as 1610. You will note that this particular instrument, a virtual duplicate of the one owned by Ludwig von Beethoven, produces a tone surprisingly similar to the modern piano, yet with a sound that still has a tiny trace of a harpsichord in some of the lowest notes. However, the position of the hammers and their relatively short throw prevents it from being as bright as a contemporary piano, nor does it have as wide a dynamic or tonal range. In addition, it has only 61 keys, and you can hear the soft knock as the hammers fall back into position when taking your fingers off the keyboard. This particular Fortepiano was meticulously built by John Germer of San Jose to capture the sound sound of this remarkable transitional keyboard. AKG C414s were used in the recordings.
CABINET GRAND:::: The Guild Cabinet Grand - essentially a small grand piano turned upright - was built in 1923. It resides in the Music Department of San Jose State University. By itself, the sound was rather unimpressive, so at some point, someone took the initiative to to add real brass tacks to all the hammers, effectively turning this into the world's largest tack piano, sometimes also referred to as a "Honky Tonk" piano. By doubling the octaves through pitch shifting, we also achieved a terrific "player piano" tone. The lowest octave includes some very unique string rattles and buzzing which is part of this instrument's charm and one reason that it has been sought out so often for recording by many major artists and record labels. You will have some fun with this one!
OTHER HISTORICAL KEYBOARDS:::: There are two additional keyboards included in this collection. The first is the Clavichord,
an instrument which was first introduced in the 15th century. Intially, several attempts were made to record two different Clavichords restored in the !980s by John Germer, but neither was deemed acceptable. The problem was that the relative volume of these keyboards was so low that extraneous noise crept into every note. Due to their value and fragility, it just wasn't feasible to move either instrument to a quieter enviroment like a Hohner Clavinet knows how noisy these instruments are. Essentially, a Clavinet is an amplified Clavichord. The sound is produced by depressing a key which rasies a brass blade or "tangent" which strikes the string(s) and holds it against the bridge. This is somewhat akin to a guitarist playing a note by hitting a string on the guitar's fingerboard at a specific fret with the left hand, rather than using the right hand with a pick. Physics aside, I was finally able to zap the offending noise in the recording with the sophisticated noise reduction software available today, and so I have included the better recording of the two Clavichords ang the Virginal (discussed in a minute) in this collection. Because of their small size and relatively low volume, neither instrument was miked in stereo - two mics literally would not fit inside the cases. Chavichords definitely have a place in music history, and it is said that Bach himself liked to play this instrument more than the harpsichord, though he was frustrated because of its limited volume which tended to get lost when played in a ensemble, which is why there exist almost no pieces written for Clavichord and
other instruments such as strings or winds. Listen to the Clavichord samples here and you will hear elements of hapsichord, hammered dulcimer and even banjo or sitar. One thing is for sure: It doesn'r sound like any synth patch you ever played on a DX7 or other sunth that was (inaccurately) labeled "Clavichord." Clavichords also allow for a sort of vibrato sound, which was called "bebung" in German. The keys could be pressed harder after the intial strike, causing the pitch to raise slightly. We have duplicated this electronally, but the sound is an exact duplicate of that produced on the Clavichord. The second instrument here is called the Virginal (a word of unexplained origin), and it is very much like a harpsichord in tone and operates on the same principles, though it is a much smaller and very quiet like the Clavichord, and thus prone to the same noise problems as mentioned above. Such instruments, built in Flanders in the 16th and 17th Century were designed either as "Muselars"-with strings plucked near the centerpoint to give a darker tone - or "Spinettem" for instruments with the strings plucked close to one end for a sharp, clear sound. The instrument sampled here is the latter, and it, too, was restored in the 1960s by John Germer.
CONCLUSION:::: Above all, I hope you enjoy these samples. For those of you who already love the sound of pipe organs and Harpsichords, no further words are necessary. For the rest of you, I hope this CD-ROM inspires you to use these samples creativity. After all, even such revolutionary bands as the beatles and Rolling Stones employed historical keyboards in their compositions, According to urban legend, Eric Clapton quit The Yardbirds after their first single (Otis Rush's "For Your Love") was released with a dominant harpsichord part.

INTERACTIVE DRUM KITS & SNARES ~ <Sonic Reality> Cd-Rom: Over the years, weve had tons of requests for a straight-ahead drum disc-kits only, no loops. Well, the producers of this set have obliged with an aggressively purist approach to recording drums that expands the boundaries of conventional drum kit discs. Interactive Drum Kits is part of Sonic Reality's Studio Collection, a series
of multi-sample CD-ROMs dedicated to capturing the purity of the world's best studio instruments. Here, you get kicks, snares, toms, hats and cymbals, from the vintage Ludwig® and Gretch® sets to new top of the line Pearl®, and Drum Workshop® kits. These are extremely realistic drums that you can wack from your keyboard or with your drum pad/triggers. But it takes more than just a great drum kit to make a killer CD-ROM.It takes a seasoned performer to massage the best colors out of the instrument. That's why the producers enlisted the talents of session players Toss Panos (Toy Matinee) and Nick D'Virgilio (Tears For Fears, Genesis) to tune, balance and perform the kits. One of the unique aspects of this collection is the assortment of interchangeable snare programs. Incredibly, they feature upwards of 20 to 50 hits per snare, from center, to edge, to rim! When you load a single snare menu program, you get all of the hits and nuances laid out for you, including drops, flams and ghost notes. It's almost impossible not to get a life-like track out of these drums. If you're a producer, composer or remixer, this is one of those "sample staples" that belongs in your collection.

KeySolutions is dedicated to creating the highest quality samples available at a rice musicians can afford. KeySolutions Libraries are available exclusively in Kurzweil format. Volume 1 features a wide variety of sounds. Pianos, electric pianos, drums, basses, and a collection of synth sounds and textures. Special care has been taken to utilize Kurzweil's V.A.S.T. technology to make the most expressive and musical sounds available. KeySolutions Volume 1 Contents PIANOS; Steinway D There have been samples of pianos before, but never a piano like this. This select Steinway D was one of the elite instruments chosen to be part of Steinway's Concert and Artist stock at Steinway Hall, New York. This exquisite concert grand
piano was a favorite of Vladimir Horowitz and it was used by him in his home and on tour. After being used at the Tanglewood Music Festival, the Steinway D was then stationed at Carnegie Hall. It was later transfered to Steinway's retail division and sold to the legendary Capricorn Studios. There it was used by the Allman Brothers, Dr. John and a host of other great records until the studio closed in the Mid-70's. The Steinway is now in Columbus, Ohio and is owned by recording artist Kim Pensyl. This piano has an incredibly versatile sound and is suited well for solo piano work, jazz, classical, new age & other styles of music. It was impeccably recorded and is available on this CD-ROM in three stereo versions. 16MB, 32MB and an outstanding 64MB version. Many samples are 6 seconds long and others are the full decay without a loop. As with this entire collection, special care has been taken to utilize the V.A.S.T capabilities of the K2000 and K2500.Yamaha C4; This Yamaha baby grand was recorded at the legendary Smart Studio's in Madison, Wisconsin. This Yamaha's bright sound makes it especially suitable for rock and other contemporary styles. This piano is available in both 25MB and 10MB versions. Yamaha CP70; This is a classic sound. This electric piano is a favorite of Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel and many others like Vangelis. PadPiano; Another classic electric piano sound. This popular sound orginated in the Korg T series and has been in nearly every Korg instrument since. Great for pads and especially nice layered with acoustic piano.
Directory PIANOS/XTRA;
Steinway D - Alternate Recorded slightly different than the one listed above, this was the first attempt at sampling this incredible piano. It is available in a 28MB version and a 14MB version.
DRUMS; Key Drums; This drum kit was inspired this entire project and I don't even know the manufacturer. These samples were taken from a sound check lifted off the pre-roll of a multi-track tape. I got a call because the drummer left for the weekend and they wanted to make a change to the drum tracks that were already on tape. After taking these samples we went back in and replaced portions of the drummer's performance from the Kurzweil. This kit features 5-way velocity switched snares, 3 way ride cymbals and is recorded in stereo. Both GM and Kurzweil key mapping is included. DW Drum Kit1; This superb kit was also recorded at John Schwab Recording Studio's in Columbus, Ohio. This stereo version features the natural ambient room sound that is a primary feature of this studio. Features of this kit include 6-way velocity switched snares, 3 way ride cymbals, toms, kicks and more. Both GM and Kurzweil key mapping is included.
DW Drum Kit2; This is the same drum kit that was used in DWKIT1 however the room ambience is taken out for a completely
different sound. These mono samples feature the close miked sound of these drums. Like the previous version there is a 6-way
velocity switched snare, 3 way ride cymbals, toms, kicks and more. Both GM and Kurzweil key mapping is included. STOMPER; This is a collection of vintage, industrial and techno electronic drums. These sounds were generated with various hardware and software based synthesizers. MIXBAG; This is a collection of acoustic & electronic drum sounds taken from various popular keyboards. The original mapping from these instruments is included as well as a few programs done in the Kurzweil format.
BASSES; Music Man Bass, This is a four string MusicMan Stingray bass. This bass has a unique round sound that almost makes it sound like a fretless though you will hear the occasional fret buzz. Carvin Fretless 5 String Bass; The Carvin bass is the Bunny Brunel model, it is a 5 string fretless. Great for that Jaco sound! 1973 Fender Jazz Bass; A classic, recorded with the treble control turned down for that classic 70's sound. SYNTHS; Though this portion of the disk isn't very large in megabytes, this is a small collection of some great synths and textures. Samples from Sequential Circuits Pro One, Korg PolySix, Roland JD-990, Roland MKS-70, Korg 01/W, Korg T-Series, and others. Simple raw waveforms from these instruments are used to create faithful reproductions of specific presets and others are complex textures created by combining a number of synths and effects processors.

KIRK HUNTERS VIRTUOSO STRINGS vol.3 ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom: INFO: The Virtuoso Series Strings by Kirk Hunter is a major String Orchestra release, featuring a variety of string sections recorded in several rooms in Los Angeles. The players are first-call musicians whose passion and sensitivity are fully revealed in these recordings. The main feature of this library is the variety of articulations used to create natural, fluid performances on your sampler. From up and down strokes, to hard attacks, and marcatos you'll have plenty of options to simulate the natural randomness of real string bowing. There are also brilliant section slides, velocity mapped so that the players sound as though they're bending up to a note while digging into a particularly passionate melody. This is a wonderfully effective feature. You'll get airy tremolos, half and whole step trills, to add some impressionistic color to your compositions. Another feature is a true Sordini (muted) violin section, great for mysterious and austere passages. There is a great variety of section sizes available on the Virtuoso Series Strings, from 24 players, all the way down to two. These are presented a variety of ways on the sampler CD-ROMs to give you even more color options. For instance, by combining the 2 player programs with 24 player programs, you bring a little intimacy into an otherwise broad and massive sound. The variety of sizes also lends itself to recreating several musical styles, from huge symphonic filmscores, to quaint chamber music. With the solo strings, you can even conjure up a terrific string quartet.
Programming............... You will never find a better presented and programmed string library than Virtuoso Series Strings. A full 18 months of intense effort went into creating all of the native formats available for Akai, Roland, Emu EOS, SampleCell and Kurzweil samplers. Where possible, the controllers were used extensively to command volume, filter cutoff, velocity crossfading,
envelope shaping and sample selection. You'll also find a variety of program options offering various megabyte sizes, and combinations of articulations, so you can focus on creativity, not programming.Once you lay your hands on the full-size Large String Ensemble, you'll understand when we say, this is truly a symphony at your fingertips.
The Sections.....................

LIQUID GROOVES INFO: Liquid Grooves: Grooves that have existed only in your imagination. Fluid rhythms forged by a synthesis of propelling live drum grooves and unusual, organic percussion loops. The live elements, performed by some of L.A.'s most creative session players, have been transformed into a unique sonic texture via ground-breaking signal processing techniques and state of the art instruments such as the Korg Wavedrum™. These highly-original grooves have lots of space and are presented in a Construction Kit format similar to the Supreme Beats collection. Many of the grooves are presented in both "Natural Acoustic" and "Hybrid Remix" versions for a new level of versatility. If you've been frustrated at the lack of slow tempos on most loop discs, this is the library you've been searching for. Tempos start at a laid-back 52 BPM and go to a cruising 126 BPM. The full-blown CD-ROM version is organized to make mixing and matching the individual elements effortless. It also includes more groove variations and remixes, as well as a library of over 450 single hits of Brush Drums, Percussion and Wavedrum sounds. The inclusion of the Audio CD with the CD-ROM makes the process of finding the groove you need faster than ever. The liquid concept is two-fold: Sparse "hand-played" grooves that feel great, combined with a focus on uncharted sonic territory. An inspiring, one-of-a-kind library from producer Eric Persing.

PHAT FINGERS ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom: Lay Down the Hottest Licks! Fast on the heels of Hot Steel Blues and Fingerstyles, Phat Fingers is the latest guitar tour de force produced by Dan Portis-Cathers. This collection delivers hundreds of funkified guitar and bass patterns, slides, and fills arranged into 30 song construction kits. The grooves are incredibly tight, some five or six parts deep, all tempo locked and tuned to the key of the song. Most songs consist of bass patterns, slides, fills, and some endings, guitar patterns, and occasional lead solos. Laying your hands on these awesome riffs and licks, and relishing in how well they combine, is an experience you won't soon forget. Tempos range from a very greasy 75 to a blisterning 160 BPM. The grooves are performed by famed axe wielder Shane Roberts, a funk and fusion fanatic who plays regularly with progressive guitar phenoms Stan Lassiter, Reggie Wooten, drummer Chester Thompson & sax player Jeff Coffin. Just imagine combining his riffs with Spectrasonics' Retro Funk or Backbeat drum libraries and a few licks from the Memphis Horns! Now that's an all star band! By far the most ambitious in the Fingerstyles Series, this project includes a wide range of Funk and Fusion styles with influences from James Brown and Curtis Mayfield, P-Funk and Soul, to Reggae, New Jack Swing and edgy Rock/Funk Fusion a la Primus. Often hard driving, sometimes smooth and sexy, but always with a lot of phat and grease - if you need some attitude and style in your dance tracks, don't get caught without Phat Fingers.

PHILIP WOLFE'S ROCK KEYBOARDS ~ B3 & MOOG vol.1 <Greytsounds> Cd-Rom: Philip Wolfe's Rock Keyboards - Hammond B-3 & Moog Synthesizers is a CD-ROM collection that includes samples from Philip's own instruments. The lion's share of this CD-ROM is given to the Hammond B-3, with a slant typically toward rock - indeed, many of the samples contain slight distortion/pre-amp saturation - just like many hard-rock keyboardists used to record and play their organs. The organ is recorded in many different settings, conveniently labeled according to the "drawbar number" employed. Philip Wolfe's Rock Keyboards - This CD ROM has the most complete B3 collection to date. These are sampled directly from the preamp of the organ (for use with a Leslie or a Leslie simulator effect), and with the mic's on the Leslie. Both the direct and the leslie versions are sampled with and without percussion 2nd, 3rd, percussion harmonic 2nd and 3rd, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 bars. The Leslie versions are also sampled with light, medium and heavy distortion, slow to fast Leslie, B3 bass pedals, and much more. This CD ROM also covers MOOG warm pads, filter sweeps, polysynths, polybrass, bass unds, buzzy sawtooth, wah filter polysynth, sample and hold modulation to oscillator, analog strings, sine and square wave synths.

PIANOS vol.3 ~ <Bolder Sounds> Cd-Rom: This CD features 2 contrasting grand pianos: a Yamaha "C7" and a 9' Steinway "D." You want it dark? You've got a Steinway. You want it bright? You've got a Yamaha. Each piano was recorded in stereo at mezzo forte and fortissimo dynamic levels.

POCKET B3 version 1 ~ (Original Version) <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom A B-3 for Your Kurzweil! ~ Hammond B-3 Samples on CDROM. Way lighter than the real thing, but packing 100% of the punch. From warm and mellow to big and beefy, it's all the B-3 sounds you'll ever need for rock, jazz, R&B or gospel! NOTE: Formatted for Kurzweil Kxxxx keyboards: These Kurzweil CD-ROMs are in a proprietary Kurzweil format that can only be read by a K2000/K2500/K2600 series keyboard using a Kurzweil-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive. These CD-ROMs can NOT be read by a Mac or PC. If you are interested in adding these sounds to your Kurzweil PC3K, we suggest that you try our Sweetwater PC3K Library, which has over 100 instruments selected from all nine of our Kurzweil CD-ROM libraries. The library comes on a 2GB thumb drive that's been formatted so that you can plug it directly into the PC3K and start loading. Since there will be plenty of room left over on the drive, we'll include the latest operating system and objects, as well as the currently available Kurzweil PC3K libraries (including the SynthScapes and Take 6 collections) and the K2661 ROM compatibility files. These Pocket B-3 files represent 29 different Drawbar Settings, which are labeled on each Program. Each Drawbar Setting comes with the straight B-3 tone plus a very luscious Chorus/Vibrato version with the B-3 set to CV3. Now here's the amazing part. The straight B-3 version of each Drawbar Setting is typically only 30k to 50k in size! That's right, you can fit all 29 of them on your machine using less than 2 MB of your RAM! The Chorus/Vibrato versions of each Drawbar Setting are typically only 600k in size. Loading all 25 of these gorgeous sounds on your Kurzweil will only take 14 MB of RAM! Every Pocket B-3 Drawbar Setting has a single rotor and a dual rotor stereo Leslie simulation created by a complex VAST application. The dual rotor versions use Setups to separate Rates and Acceleration Times for the horn and the rotor. There are also Percussion Programs using Third or Second Harmonics featuring the unique ability to have Percussion play on all keys all the time, or only when no other notes are held down (like a real B-3). The Pocket B-3 features a Leslie External directory, which makes our B-3s a perfect match for external Leslie simulators. Finally, we've thrown in a Bonus Bank of B-3s with real Leslies that use our own custom designed "Morphing" Algorithm, which seamlessly blends from slow to fast Leslie, samples. There are also several Bonus B-3 instruments, which have heavy distorytion and deep Leslie rotations effects.

RETRO FUNK INFO: Spectrasonics takes Retro into the future! Awesome Live drum & percussion grooves, Authentic Vintage Sound, Feel & Style, Multiple world-class Drummers, Studios and Engineers, Transitional Song Construction Elements, Ultra-Wide Sonic Variety, Unprecedented Control. A fresh take on the killer vintage sound. The sonic texture of these loops makes them ultra-flexible, bringing massive "vibe" to any modern track. Producer Eric Persing's mixes create a unique, dry sonic attitude in this library, making it ideal for layering with other groove elements. Vintage mics, warm Analog tape compression and antique drums all contribute to the funkiness. And with Groove Control™, the grooves are at your command, effortlessly blending their timing and human feel to match your music. Turn a GoGo groove into Deep House, a JB Boogaloo into Drum & Bass, a Fatback P-Funk groove into Alternative Reggae, or an R&B stomp into a Pop Ballad! It's scary how quickly you can sound like a remix genius! There have been numerous drum loop products produced in the past, but never before with this level of quantity, quality, flexibility and variety. The authenticity in Sound, Feel and Style is unprecedented. Producers Eric Persing and Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves), went to great lengths to insure that every groove was performed with maximum inspiration and is truly "the real deal". Normally, a drum loop library features the same drummer playing one kit, in one studio, all recorded in one day -resulting in the same basic sound throughout the collection. It may be good, but the lack of variety gets old quickly. In one of the biggest departures from other drum loop discs, Retro Funk was created from months of recording sessions with multiple world-class drummers -each recorded by different engineers in numerous legendary Hollywood studios like Captial Records, The Enterprise and O'Henry's. The focus is on live drumming with serious feel, vintage drums and a huge variety of original grooves and fills from four incredible drummers! The featured players on Retro Funk include: Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Joe Satriani, Don Henley) Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves, George Benson, The Crusaders) John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Albert Lee, Aaron Neville) Eric Boseman (Liquid Grooves, James Newton-Howard) Create your own complete drum track with Song construction Elements including Variations, Fills, Fill Bars, Intros, Breakdowns, Ride and Sidestick patterns, Add-on Cymbals, Claps, Vinyl noise and funky live Percussion loops too! This massive stash of grooves is destined to be another Spectrasonics Legend.

Since there will be plenty of room left over on the drive, we'll include the latest operating system and objects, as well as the currently available Kurzweil PC3K libraries (including the SynthScapes and Take 6 collections) and the K2661 ROM compatibility files. Even the Effects were completely redone to produce ambiences that are cleaner and quieter than those found in the Internal ROM. Finally, every controller, including Vlocity, Mod Wheel, Data Slider, and Pressure were put to use to create real-time "performance instruments" instead of merely playing back a sample on a key press.These samples exhibit the same timelessness indigenous to Kurzweil instruments. Let's face it, there are many sample libraries featuring thousands of bizarre and trendy sounds which end up on a shelf to impress the gotta-have-every-sample-in-the-world crowd, and then there are those instrument samples which actually get used professionally as standard working tools. Check out Complete Stratocaster. The first program you pull up plays Mutes on soft velocities, Open Sustain on medium velocities and Harmonics with Feedback on hard velocities. Playa lick with varying velocities and you'll hear the expression we're talking about. Now try Orchestra for the most powerful real-time punch you've ever had under 10 fingers! Or, surround yourself in ambient stereo FX with Fireworks, Jungle, Thundar and War. Industrial Sounds will take you to new rhythmic grooves that make you rewrite all of the rules!Includes: Staples / Hammer Grand / Synergy 1 / Air Voice / French Horn Section / Tenor Sax / Pop Brass / Acoustic Guitar/ Acoustic Guitar Chords / Chorused Electric Guitar / Electric 12 String Guitar / Lead Guitar 1 / Howe Lead Guitar /Complete Stratocaster / Yes Bass / Mandolin / Harp / Orchestra / China / Wild Percussion / Industrial Sounds / Fireworks / Thunder / Rainstick /Jungle / War / Bleachers Also includes demos of: Finger Juice (2 files) / Pocket B-3 (7 files) / Sounds of the 70's (5 files) / Stratus (1 file) / Total Stereo Session Drums (7 files) / Stereo YC Virtual Grand Piano (1 file) / Synthetica vol.1 Floppy (1 file) / Ultimate Guitars (12 Files)
SAMPLE KINGS ~ HIP HOP GUITARS <Sample Kings> Cd-Rom

SILK ROAD MIDDLE EASTERN INSTRUMENTS ~ <Sonic Implants> Cd-Rom: Musicians will be able to add the mystery of the orient to their latest compositions with the release of Sonic Implants’ new CD, Silk Road, Middle Eastern Melodic & Percussion Instruments. The very name, Silk Road, inspires visions of camel caravans traversing the 7,000-mile trading route between the west and the ancient orient, winding through China, Central Asia, Northern India, Parthian and Roman Empires (the current countries of China, India, Iran, Iraq, Persia & Syria). The popular trade route blended culture, music, art and religion for centuries. The new Sonic Implants release, with samples performed by Middle Eastern musicians, captures the authentic melodic and percussion instruments from the Middle East.

SKIPPY'S BIG BAD BEATS vol.2 ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom
SKIPPY'S BIG BAD BEATS GROOVE CONTROL DISC ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom + info: From the mind of groove guru John "Skippy" Lehmkuhl comes Skippy's Big Bad Beats. This funkified library combines old school attitude with totally new grooves, presented in ultra hi-fi sonic fidelity to light your tracks on fire. Great for R n' B, dance, techno, trance, soul, or anything requiring movin' groovin'. Not just another remixed loop library, BBB gives you tons of new grooves (66BPM - 145BPM) each with multiple mix variations, including full mix, simple mix, no kick, no snare, high-end only, old record mix and more, so you can actually write a complete song with breaks and turnarounds. And with Groove Control™ your options for changing tempo, feel and mix are truly limitless. The sounds are fresh, fat and in-your-face. The grooves will hit you where it hurts. Skippy has programmed sounds for Korg since 1988 and has worked on tons of high profile sessions, on both coasts, showing off his groove skills. This is his first Sample CD and we know it won't be his last. You gotta check it out! Skippy's Big Bad Beats was designed to be a unique product when compared to other drum loop libraries. Let's take a moment to explain the thought process behind this collection of grooves so that you can understand how to get the most out of the library. At the root level, BBB is conceived as a collection of 34 high-fidelity stereo dance, hip hop and pop grooves. Making any of these loops "lo-fi" is as easy as running them through distortion, EQ or effects boxes, if you like. These starter grooves are then broken down and remixed into alternative versions that you can use at different places in your song for rhythmic variety. Instead of only one loop that never changes in a four-minute song, with Big Bad Beats, you can arrange the different mixes at different times, or use the full mixes for the intro and the small mixes for the verses. You can also use the no-snare version just before going back into the full mix version for the chorus outs & so on. Instead of making 1,700 loops that have nothing in common with each other, we've created a library that has variations within the same basic groove. This way, you determine what mix to use, when and where, instead of being limited to only one loop for the entire song. After carefully selecting the 300+ loops, every last one of them was put through a process developed by ILIO and Spectrasonics, utilizing proprietary software, called Groove Control™. This process literally explodes the library into millions of possible groove mixes, tempos and attitudes. So you have the option of using the recorded grooves in the traditional way.

STRATUS SOUNDS vol.1 ~ CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTS <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom: Includes:All the classical strings, woodwinds and brass you'll need for orchestral music or film scores, plus keyboard instruments, harps, classical guitars and full orchestral percussion! NOTE: Formatted for Kurzweil K2XXX keyboards These Kurzweil CD-ROMs are in a proprietary Kurzweil format that can only be read by a K2000/K2500/K2600 series keyboard using a Kurzweil-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive. These CD-ROMs can NOT be read by a Mac or PC. If you are interested in adding these sounds to your Kurzweil PC3K, we suggest that you try our Sweetwater PC3K Library, which has over 100 instruments selected from all nine of our Kurzweil CD-ROM libraries. The library comes on a 2GB thumb drive that's been formatted so that you can plug it directly into the PC3K and start loading. Since there will be plenty of room left over on the drive, we'll include the latest operating system and objects, as well as the currently available Kurzweil PC3K libraries (including the SynthScapes and Take 6 collections) and the K2661 ROM compatibility files. When you actually play the cello, we're sure that you'll be convinced. The warmth, the feel and the rich animation will testify to Stratus Sounds' artistry and ear for detail. The triple-strike nylon guitar will redefine your concept of sampler dynamics. And beware, Stratus tympanis will bottom-out your monitors at the same level previously used to juice your 1000-samples-squeezed-into-4-megabytes percussion. Even if you should find that not all of the sounds included in this library are useful to you today, the value of having access to such a quantity of high quality sounds may greatly benefit future productions, especially when you rediscover those "misfits" to be fresh new options. Stratus Sounds aren't just technically superior, they're creatively superior. While beneficial for the purpose of auditioning or even filling the background of a production, most sample libraries exhibit static, lifeless samples with little animation and an artificial vibrato, often looped immediately after the attack. In contrast, Stratus Sound samples are recorded by professional players of each instrument and are digitally edited with long loops to capture the dynamic articulations, natural vibrato, and complex phasing and harmonic changes characteristic of a well-executed performance. When properly positioned in a production, these sounds may fool even well trained ears. Even the most critical of listeners will appreciate the sheer musicality of these samples and the ease with which Stratus Sounds lend themselves to esthetically pleasing compositions.

STRATUS SOUNDS vol.2 ~ AMERICAN STANDARD COLLECTION <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom: Sounds of American History for Your Kurzweil! From Sweetwater's renowned soundware library! The Americana CD is the quintessential sample library representing America's musical heritage: Hammond B-3s, Gibson and Fender guitars, electric basses, big band brass, tons of percussion and more. NOTE: Formatted for Kurzweil Kxxxx keyboards. These Kurzweil CD-ROMs are in a proprietary Kurzweil format This volume is the second in a series of libraries derived from the critically acclaimed Stratus Sounds library for the Kurzeil K2000/K2500. All libraries exhibit the same all-digital editing and mastering techniques as well as the same attention to artistry in the beautiful detail and realism of each instrument. These qualities are what made Sweetwater Stratus Sounds such a phenomenal success with performance artists and production engineers around the world. American Jazz - The American Standard Collection focuses on the sounds native to American culture in the past century. The library begins with the bygone days of those tiny smoke-filled jazz clubs where music lovers would crowd around a makeshift stage, listening to the melancholy sound of Cajun greats. Warm Jazz Trumpet captures the dark and forlorn spirit of the mellowest of horn players, with an honest understated tone providing plenty of inspiration to draw you into your music. Then, for a nice complimentary texture, try the Breathy Tenor Sax. The absence of a clear attack in this style seemed to transcend time signatures, free from the divisions of each bar. This combined with the breathy timbral presence made the instrument come to life with the very soul of the performer. Add an Upright Bass, Concert Grand One, and the Jazz Set for a nuts-and-bolts rhythm section to shape and define the characteristic sound of an early American jazz ensemble.American Rock. Fast forward a few decades and find yourself in front of a camera on American Bandstand with a '72 Stratocaster strapped over your shoulder. Flip the pickup s with into the out-of -phase position between the bridge and middle pickups while listening to the anticipation of hundreds of screaming teenagers. Strum a few chords for introduction, and then feel the Steinberger Bass drop the foundation as you kick in some light distortion and chorusing. WHAM! Now your drummer's in with a couple hits on a wood shell Rogers snare drum, a tom flam, and then the crisp, transparent explosion of a 16" Sabian crash. Heavier rock productions will ignite with energy when you punch in the Gibson Les Paul with DiMarzio pickups played through a Mesa/Boogie amplifier. Country? Check out the Martin acoustic 6-string played with a metal side.The advanced architecture of the Kurzweil has enabled Stratus Sounds to corral all of these classics into one amazing library of American musical heritage. Extraordinary Value - Consider the value of such a collection! What would it take to find, purchase, and learn how to play each one of these instruments well enough to incorporate into a production? Now, thanks to the Kurzweil and Stratus Sounds, it's not only possible - it's affordable! Certainly some of us may not find a use for the "Chet Atkins" model Gretsch Tennessean today, but the few dollars that were paid for it as part of this collection may prove well worth it when a fresh, new guitar sound will be just the thing needed to revitalize a mix.

STRATUS SOUNDS vol.3 ~ EXOTIC INSTRUMENTS & SYNTHS <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom: xotic Instruments for Your Kurzweil! Broaden your musical horizons and explore new sonic territory with world instruments like bamboo flute, sitar, Paraguayan harp, South African Sansa, and more. Plus synths (like the Oberheim OB8, MemoryMoog, and Super Jupiter) and vintage keys as a bonus! Consider, for example, the Praguayan Folk Harp. This instrument is hand made of rosewood and mahogany. Its tone is warmer than the modern orchestral harp and yet richly detailed in its provocative harmonic series. The South African Sansa is a wooden box resonator to which a number of split cane or metal tongues are attached, free at one end to be plucked with the thumbs. The texture is almost harpish in sustain, and yet distinctly "tuned percussion" in its attack. In our quest to provide such rare and pleasing treasures as the examples above, we have also chosen to include several classic analog synth programs from such instruments as the Oberheim OB8, MemoryMoog, and the Super Jupiter.
Keyboard: Accordian One / MIDI MIX Piano / Gig Pianos / Wurlitzer Electric Piano / CP-70 Electric Grand / DX Electric Piano 1&2 / DX Electric Piano 3&4 / Toy Piano / Analog Pad One / Synthbasses One & Two / Synthbasses Three & Four / Synth Brass One / Dramatis One / Dramatis Two

STRING BOXES ~ Mellotron & Arp Solina <Sonic Implants> Cd-Rom: Sonic Implants' String Boxes: Mellotron and ARP String Ensemble CD-ROM library, brings together string sounds from two classic keyboards: the Mellotron and the ARP Solina String Ensemble. The Mellotron produced its sounds by playing analog tapes of each note of a recorded instrument, and the ARP Solina synthesized its string and brass sounds from sawtooth waves. Although the Mellotron has always been considered a unique, classic instrument, the Solina has only recently earned its standing as a vintage synth. this is not an extensive collection of instrument sounds. The Mellotron library is limited to Flute, 8-Voice Choir, and three String sounds from the M200, M300, and Mark II models. However, those are the instruments most closely associated with the Mellotron sound, and they are good representative choices. Furthermore, each sound has a number of variations created by adjusting envelopes or filters. For example, the M200 Strings library has four filtered pad sounds with different attack and release envelopes, a basic Dry Violins patch, and other pad variations that alter sample playback by using only attack and release envelopes. The Mellotron samples were recorded at a 22.05 kHz sampling rate with 16-bit resolution, which is enough to ensure faithful reproduction of the Mellotron instruments.

SYNTHSCAPES ~ <Kurzweil> Cd-Rom ~ Product Description:The K2 Series Synthscapes CD-ROM features a wide variety of synth textures, leads, pads, basses, and keyboard comping sounds. The sounds were created by combining patches from many classic synths to achieve unique sounds not found on any individual instrument. Kurzweil hired producer/keyboardist Jason Miles (Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis) and his wall of synthesizers. Jason brought to the project his most cherished sounds, originally designed in his studio by combining timbres on his various instruments until the magic was achieved. The end result is that on one Kurzweil Synthesizer you now have access to these uniquely layered multi- instrument sounds that previously required a room full of the worlds greatest equipment, along with a top-notch producer. In addition to using these great sounds as is, Kurzweil's V.A.S.T. synthesis engine allows you to design an infinite variation of programs based on these sounds. Each sound in this collection is offered in its original basic form with some minor modifications (small amount of reverb or filter), followed by programs created using V.A.S.T. Programming ranges from subtle enhancements to bringing the timbre into a completely altered domain. This CD captures the inherent sound quality each individual instrument naturally produces; you can hear the separate identities of each of the instruments combined in these single layer, composite synth sample files. Instruments used to create Synthscapes: E-mu Vintage Keys / E-mu EIII XS / E-mu EIV / Roland JD-990 / Roland JD-8000/ Roland MKS-20 / Roland MKS-80 / Ensoniq ASR-10 / Ensoniq TS-10 / Ensoniq MR / Waldorf Microwave / Waldorf Microwave 2 /Waldorf Pulse Korg Wave Station AD / Kurzweil K2000 / Yamaha TX-816 / Yamaha TX-802 / Minimoog / Generalmusic ProPiano 2 / System Requirements: Minimum: SCSI CDROM Drive / 16 Mb Sample RAM / Any K2 Series model (K2000 users must have v3.54 or better) Recommended: 64Mb Sample RAM / PRAM option / KDFX-equipped K2 series model.

TOTAL STEREO SESSION DRUMS ~ <Sweetwater Sound> Cd-Rom Over 400 Megabytes of Killer Percussion for Your Kurzweil!
This CD-ROM is a remarkable achievement in the endless quest to replicate real drums kits from a keyboard or MIDI drum controller. The stunning ambient realism provided in each file is due to a number of exciting synthesizer and sample techniques. Over 400 megabytes of data! Over 1,200 new samples in full stereo! Rock, funk, jazz, Latin, country, reggae, GM kits and more, plus raw samples that let you create your own kits! NOTE: Formatted for Kurzweil Kxxxx keyboards These Kurzweil CD-ROMs are in a proprietary Kurzweil format that can only be read by a K2000/K2500/K2600 series keyboard using a Kurzweil-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive. These CD-ROMs can NOT be read by a Mac or PC. If you are interested in adding these sounds to your Kurzweil PC3K, we suggest that you try our Sweetwater PC3K Library, which has over 100 instruments selected from all nine of our Kurzweil CD-ROM libraries. The library comes on a 2GB thumb drive that's been formatted so that you can plug it directly into the PC3K and start loading. Since there will be plenty of room left over on the drive, we'll include the latest operating system and objects, as well as the currently available Kurzweil PC3K libraries (including the SynthScapes and Take 6 collections) and the K2661 ROM compatibility files.Every single drum in every kit was recorded in true stereo, which adds a level of realism and fullness that simply cannot be match with mono samples. Some of these kits were recorded in a fairly dry room and close mic'd while others were sampled in live rooms with the mics pulled back just a bit to emphasize the ambience.Another revolutionary new technique is the use of Sweetwater's exclusive "8 Velocity Layer Keymaps." These specially re-created keymaps contain eight full layers with each layer being triggered by velocities from ppp through fff. And, even though these keymaps offer eight different ways of playing a sample, they still only need one program layer!

TRANCEFUSION ~ <ILIO> Cd-Rom: This radical collection of Swirls, Sweeps and Swells will infuse your mixes with momentum and drama! In the sampling world, there are lots of groove discs out there, but how do you make that great energy-building, heart-ounding climb from one killer groove to the next? How do you add drama and intensity to keep your tracks from just sitting there? Enter TranceFusion, an entire audio disc dedicated to short attention spans. A truly unique addition to the remix and scoring markets, TranceFusion is hundreds of evolving sonic climbers meant to carry your tracks from one groove to the next, or simply to add excitement to a steady pulse. It comes stocked with swooshes, sweeps and swirls, the elements of excitement and motion that fly the listener across an ocean of beats, fusing one groove to the next. Sweeps include resonant noise, power glides, dark evolvers, percussion sweeps, reversed cymbals, and others that defy description, but are ultimately useful. Designed to cut through the densest mixes, these sonic events swirl above the underlying groove adding contrast & excitement without cluttering up the track. Other tricks include hits and stabs, lasers, vocal rantings, space transmissions and other weirdness to set off your beats, plus rave and trance style arpeggios and pads. The sounds were created using a war chest of the hottest vintage and analog gear, from classic VCOs to physical modeling and every wavetable-vectored-linear-additive-frequency-transformed-pulse-code-modulated step in between. The resulting sound is warm and thick - full of interest and depth. Truly a one-of-a-kind!

ULTIMATE GUITARS ~ <Sweetwater> Cd-Rom: ABOUT THE GUITARS ON THIS CD ROM In the 1960s,the guitar became not only an important voice in popular music, but a virtual symbol of all the many changes occurring within our society. Few other instruments — if any — can produce as many sounds as the guitar. It can yield delicate acoustic timbres with sparkling harmonics, dark and smoky electric jazz tones or molten, gut wrenching heavy metal sounds. From light pop and surf music to chicken-pickin’ country riffs and dusty blues, the guitar is always there, sounding as fresh today as it did in the early days, when the first musician decided that this particular instrument, like no other, would best express his innermost thoughts and feelings. ULTIMATE GUITARS is more than just a collection of samples, it is a veritable textbook of classic guitar sounds. In fact, many of the instruments represented here are of important historical signi?cance. Some of the guitars we sampled are true, vintage, collectors items worth many thousands of dollars. But more importantly, here you’ll ?nd a palette of sounds that will duplicate most any guitar timbre imaginable, meaning you won’t be at a loss for that perfect guitar sound at your next recording session. Each guitar is presented with as much information as we felt was necessary to de?ne its usage & historical importance. This was indeed a labor of love for all of us involved and we sincerely hope that you enjoy playing.

WIND INSTRUMENTS & SAX ~ <Private Studio> Cd-Rom
WORLD WINDS ~ <Ilio> Cd-Rom: Open your ears to a world of beauty and mystery. Acclaimed UK composer and multi-instrumentalist Dirk Campbell has sampled every instrument in his extensive ethnic wind collection, bringing you the evocative sounds of many rarities like the Bansuri (Indian flute), Turkish and Persian Ney flutes, Kaval (Southeast European flute), African flute, Suling Slendro and Suling Pelog (Javanese flutes), Irish Penny Whistle, Irish Low Whistle, Fujara (Slovakian Contrabass Whistle), Japanese Shakuhachi, Andean Panpipes, Armenian Duduk, Indian Shenai, Egyptian Zummara, Turkish Zourna, Gaida Bagpipes (Greek and Bulgarian, three types), Irish Uilleann pipes (three types), Scots Highland pipes, Medieval Praetorius Bagpipes, Turkish Tulum, Arabian Mezoued, Cretan Askomandura, Czech Dudy, Nafir (Moroccan trumpet) and African Kudu Horn. The flutes range from sweet and delicate to eerie, breathy and complex, evoking the beauty, stillness, depth and mystery of the natural world. In contrast, there are the wild, strange and stirring timbres of ethnic reed instruments, bagpipes and African horns. Dirk’s personal samples are supplemented by an Andean Panpipe player and a top Shakuhachi master. The library’s strength lies in its articulations as well as straight notes. There are up and down bends, various types of grace notes, and authentic phrases and performances. These can be combined easily to provide a very realistic delivery, sounding just like a real player. To avoid tuning clashes, all samples are presented at concert pitch; alternatively, if you prefer to hear the instruments in their purest form, ‘raw’ programs have been supplied which demonstrate the native tuning, scales and ranges. There are also atmospheric programs which work well for pads and textures. World Winds is a must-have for film, TV and media composers, World Music, Rock, Pop and contemporary Classical composers and performers, creative keyboardists and programmers, and anyone with an ear for great instrumental sounds!
